S’endormir comme d’habitude [English translation]

Ah, to fall asleep as usual and wake up the next day

under ten degrees of latitude with the sun everywhere.

In the shelter of a coconut tree, I will sleep on my back.

What use is working when it is so beautiful out?

All day long, it has been nice and warm.

To go swimming, I need only a necklace of flowers.

Ah, to fall asleep as usual and wake up the next day

under ten degrees of latitude with paradise for free.

A ukulele here, a small boat there—

and the singing of Bengali natives above all of that.

And why not all of the beautiful eyes that would fall on you—

how wonderful it must be to be in love down there.

But to fall asleep as usual … curled up in your arms …

happy as usual … it is still my greatest joy.

Ah, to fall asleep as usual.

Ah, to fall asleep as usual.

Ah, to fall asleep as usual.
